A Tennessee man is facing charges including possession of methamphetamine after allegedly being found in possession of the drug following Middlesboro Police K-9 Rahab alerting on his vehicle.

Lucas Roark, 25, of Harrogate, TN, was arrested on Sunday by Middlesboro City Police K-9 Officer Nick Capps.

According to the citation, at approximately 11:30 p.m. on Sunday, Roark was operating a 1996 green Toyota pickup which Capps observed displaying an incurred registration plate. Capps performed a traffic stop near the intersection of 38th Street and Winchester Avenue. Roark informed Capps he did not have insurance on the vehicle. Capps asked for consent to search the vehicle, and consent was denied. After Roark and the other occupant exited the vehicle, Capps and K-9 Rahab conducted a free air sniff at the vehicle. Rahab alerted on the passenger side of the vehicle. Police located a baggy containing a crystal-like substance believed to be methamphetamine, a half a blue pill believed to be Xanax. Roark claimed ownership of the items.

Roark was charged with first-degree possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine), third-degree possession of a controlled substance (drug unspecified), failure of owner to maintain required insurance and no registration plates. Roark was lodged in the Bell County Detention Center.
